Well after nearly 3 years with me being restored the car passed its MOT and is now fully road legal.

 

Parked on the road for the first time in a while before the MOT -

 

Forgot how small it actually is -

 

 

Being, urmmm... MOT'D -

 

 

No rust to see here -

 

Here she is at her very first fill up, felt great driving it properly for the first time ( Just ignore the grinning mate in the passenger seat ) -

 

Got my boot all finished off with the tool box i bought, dont think it looks too shabby -

 

Its not running right at the moment and it does not accelerate very well so its going on a Rolling Road session at 9AM tomorrow so i'll keep who ever is still reading this updated on to what happens.

Would really love to hear everyones final thoughts ( Good or Bad )

 

Andrew.

Nobody else notice the exhaust bracket not attached to the diff hosing?

Other than that it looks awesome buddy well done! Glad to see your out enjoying it

Well done mate, looks really good even though it could be lowered a bit. Enjoy the first drive?

I think 'lowered a bit' could be an understatement Dave, it's like a 4X4
Don't worry I'll be lowering it in a few weeks when the cones have broken in.

Haha I didn't want to seem harsh. To get to that great looking car from this:

Certainly has come a long way.

Be harsh all you like, I can take criticism.
Yeah it has come a fair old way. Can't wait to see what it's like after the tune up

Andrew

[davej]

Yeah I bet, will be interesting to see how you get on.
